  Those glorious altos Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples; Aretha Franklin, and, in case no-one's yet mentioned them, Dusty Springfield and the silky Dionne Warwick.
  
  Others have already mentioned Gillian Welch and Emmylou, but I didn't notice the name T-A-M-M-Y-W-Y-N-E-T-T-E anywhere below. That's got me stumped, for sure.

      I didn't find the songwriting on the debut to be as mature as on The Story" but that might just be me. Glad you liked it. It will definitely hook you for a couple of weeks. The same way Mindy Smith does.

  "how Long Has This Been Going On" with Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Ray Brown and Louie Belson and "Send In The Clowns" with Count Basie, both on Pablo, are easy to find and fabulous.
  
  If the recs are supposed to be more modern, where's Bonnie Raitt? Got an LP of her with Clapton here somewhere...

  . . . Bjork. Though not to everyone's taste, in fact she seems to invoke a love/hate response with little middle ground, I find her use of voice as an instrument fascinating. "Vespers" is a good starting point. I haven't heard the new one yet though

      not Vespers. Anyway I like her a lot, but she's not everybody's idea of a good time. Try to find a track or two to listen on line and see what you think. BTW her career started as singer for Icelandic band The Sugarcubes, also worth looking for

      Sorry for the late reply. I was away over the holiday. It is more a questions what she does not sing. I've not heard her do loud rock or opera.
      
      Jackaro has commented on the influence of Patsy Cline. I'm usually not big on that kind of music but KD's Absolute Torch and Twang is a great album.
      
      There is a new Joni Mitchell tribute album out with KD singing Help Me. She can really hold a note with effortless pure tone.

  I read through this thread and I did not see Ella Fitzgerald. It is not likely anyone is her equal, but when you state you want to her vocals and musicians there is no one that had better orchestration than Ella.
  
  The definitive female vocalist that all others are measured against is Ella Fitzgerald .

            most of the singers mentioned in this "Astounded" sub thread are deceased. However, in their day, many were consistently among the leading Hit Parade singers, and are considered to be among the all-time greats in the history of jazz and popular music. As someone mentioned, "Allmusic.com" and "Wikipedia.com" are great resources for learning about the lives and discographies of these legendary singers. You may even find some video clips on the YouTube website.

    Artists I recall from my youth but honestly, had not considered or really even given thought to. I do recall D.Ross and the Supremes from the Motown years, good stuff.
    
    If your referring to Billie Holiday that's another artist I'm not familiar with but I love jazz from the "golden era" .Ditto the above comments to Ella.
    
    Your youtube video was enjoyable and the vocals are sublime but this music may be a bit to eccentric for my current tastes. More effort would be required on my part for this most challenging music!
    
    And Thanks Again Todd Krieger, for taking the time out to share what appears to be your vast musical knowledge, and bringing out some forgotten artists through your suggestions that were overlooked by me but are still valued here.
    
    Sometimes Im looking to hard, when the gift is right under my nose!

    Artist I currently have. Most of her music is excellent IMHO, But the MoFi SACD Hybrids are exceptional. Petra Haden, never heard of her but I'm a huge fan of Bill Frisells music so this one is a must.

      Petra Haden is the daughter of jazz bassist Charlie Haden. The album is *Petra Haden and Bill Frisell*(Sovereign/2005). Exquisite, ethereal voice, backed with violin & electric guitar. Interpretations of songs by Elliot Smith/Dave Grohl/Coldplay/Gershwin/Mancini/Stevie Wonder). For my money the best female vocal album of 2005.

    Ive seen and briefly listened to Evas Songbird on occasion when occasionally stopping at Borders, its so sad she passed from Cancer.
    
    Funny how "some" just aren't appreciated until its too late. Perhaps Ill now purchase some of her music. Her story may be a testimony to us all about the very important values that are right in front of us all, and to appreciate, Today.

  but are worth seeing, or hearing:
  +Les Sampu - bluesy folk
  +Laura Love - funky, afro-celtic vocal gymnast and plays bass in her band
  +Christine Lavin - singer/songwriter and great entertainer
  +Carrie Newcomer
  as for groups:
  +Sweet Honey in the Rock - Amazing vocals.
  +Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women - fun to see live
  +Ellen MacIllwain - slide guitar. Saw her put on the spot w/o her rhythm section at the last minute. Just her and an electric guitar, winging it. Very impressed.
  
  a few names left out of my previous post:
  +Mary Chapin Carpenter
  +Dar Williams
  +Maria Muldar - can still bring it
  +Susan Tedeschi - another blues woman
  +Bonnie Raitt - can't lever her out
  
  Finally, I don't mind watching a little Cecilia Bartoli

  Neko Case. Great big ballsy voice on minute, then she gets all torch songy on you - excellent. Furnace Room Lullaby is my personal favorite.
  
  Shelby Lynne. From Nashville, definitely some country in her, but also R&B, rock, gospel... She's a great songwriter and tremendous singer. Her sister Allison Moorer is very good too, though with a little less range.
  
  Rickie Lee Jones first album (from the 70s) is superb - I just kind of (re)discovered it after buying a really good CD player!
  
  There's Joni - too obvious?
  
  I don't know what k.d. Lang is up to any more, but she has a great voice and put out some good records a while back. Amazing voice, big lungs, as they say.
  
  Love her or hate her, but you might listen to some Kate Bush. Different, anyway. Try Hounds of Love.
  
  And of course, the still great Emmylou Harris.
  
  There's a few.
  
  Aram

  A great guitarist and songwriter and a good vocalist (nope, not great)... but a great package. Try before you buy on Youtube.
  
  Also (and this might not quite count), Margo Timmins (i.e., Cowboy Junkies). I love to hear her whisper/sing. Try her version of the Dead's "To Lay me Down" on "Deadicated". Absolutely beautiful.
  
  come to think of it... Ms Joni Mitchell wasn't on your list?

  +June Tabor - dark, musky English folk
  +Eva Cassidy - probably on a lot of people's short list
  +Joan Osborne - always thought she could belt out a pretty good tune
  +Rosanne Cash - intelligent writing and nice voice
  +Annie Haslam - the voice of Renaissance
  +Mary Fahl - the voice of October Project
  +Karan Casey - sweet Irish voice
  +Mary Black - another good singer (among many others) from Ireland
  +Anne Hills - an exquisite singer (folk)with a crystal clear voice. For some fine singing, try "Voices" by Herdman, Hills & Mangsen
  +Iris DeMent &
  +Mary McCaslin - two very distinct voices, but very enjoyable
  +Rory Block - country blues singer and quite the guitar player
  +and oh so many more

  ...I'm listing my favorite albums they've done:
  
  Joan Armatrading - her self-titled album and "Show Some Emotion"
  Bonnie Raitt - just about any of hers over the past 30 years
  Linda Ronstadt - "Heart Like a Wheel", "Hasten Down the Wind", "Simple Dreams"
  Shawn Colvin - "Steady On"
  Loreena McKinnet - "The Mask and the Mirror"
  
  In a more jazzy or easy listening vein:
  
  Diana Krall - "Love Scenes", "When I Look in your Eyes"
  Patrica Barber - "Companion" and others (more of an acquired taste)
  Jane Monheit - "Come Dream with Me"
  Cassandra Wilson - her latest got good reviews but I have not heard it yet

    For your feedback. My apologies as I failed to list Dianna Krall and Patricia Barber in my initial post, your opinion on Barbers music mirrors my own. Acquired taste as it grows on you with time, much favored like a fine wine. JBTW that live album Companion recorded at the Green Mill is scary realistic at times, how about the acoustic bass strings in track four, seemingly splitting my house in two!!!
    
    Your suggestions are valued and on my list.
